oh my gosh it's so great to finally meet
you
you do you look so much taller than on
zoom
[Music]
stop stop stop i hate this what is this
how is this romance this is devastating
to me i'm a 31 year old single woman
in los angeles with four cats who does
not have 17
000 to freeze and store my eggs
i tried yeah i'm so sorry we're all
booked up
really yeah coronavirus has parked in a
freeze frenzy our phone has not stopped
ringing
this is real you can google it kovid has
just
screwed dating and look i know it's not
just singles hurting because every
couple i know is fighting like crazy but
i don't care about them
because they have love you know it was
hard enough to figure out if someone was
flirting with me in the before time
i'm so glad they found that vaccine can
you pass me the wine oh yeah sure
oh my gosh she's like obsessed with me
but now now i have like no idea the
other day i was on the zoom call with
this guy and i totally thought we were
vibing
great we'll all send the materials your
way and you can let me know which one
you want to move forward with
sounds great well it was nice meeting
you it was great meeting you too
have a good one yeah
oh my god you guys i had a meeting and i
think we were reviving i've been like
work fighting or like like vibing vibing
like like vibing what's his full name
charlie baddington i found his photo
he's so cute so cute he's married no
wait i found his wedding video oh oh my
god he's so sweet
oh my god his father died last year in
an accident oh my god i'm so glad
his wife's support during that trying
time oh my god his wife's brother's
house was destroyed by a flood last
month
are they okay they're okay oh their
first dance
well i'm so glad they have each other
you know
that happened exactly like that with
that speed
with those friends that's my life now
and even if i do find someone who's like
legit flirting with me back
dating in the pandemic comes with a
whole new set of rules this guy just
asked me to go for a walk
has he faced time dude no have you known
each other at least two weeks
no has he taken the pandemic seriously
i've been quarantining responsibly and
gotten a negative kova test no
then what the hell is he thinking he
clearly isn't right what am i supposed
to do just go outside and physically
stand next to a stranger who i've never
even had a zoom happy hour with everyone
knows you do zoom happy hour first
maybe he wants to infect you maybe he's
a serial killer hoping to use his
asymptomatic status to kill as many
people as legally possible honestly i
wouldn't be surprised
that's exactly what i'd do if i was a
serial killer
which actually i guess isn't that
different from the before time in a way
because now we have to treat meeting up
like we could potentially die but
women have always kind of done that wish
me luck did you share your location
yes safeword sunny do you have your
pepper spray strapped to my thigh
that was so much fun i really hope this
is the one if you don't hear from me in
two hours call the cops okay okay
everyone has to find whatever works for
them personally i stick to facetime
dates have to know someone for at least
two weeks
know that they're taking quarantining
seriously and are either in a similar
isolation pod or alone
and even then i very rarely choose to
meet up with someone because yes right
now our safety is threatened but
we're also incredibly lonely and our
mental health is declining so the
compromise between physical safety and
mental health
is this very delicate dance and i urge
you to find what works for you
that minimizes risk for yourself and
others i'm anna akana and thank you to
